AC/heat pumps not working on auto

AC/heat pumps not working when set to auto. Work when setting fan on high or low fan, but when set on auto mode won't kick on. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Wait until winter? Oh you probably mean the Cooling? Is the compressor actually kicking on when you have it on the high / low setting? Or maybe just a fan?

Dan, were up in Lake City CO and it did get down to 47 degrees last night so a little heat is nice.

Phill, will try the reset, since Cheryl keeps all the books where I can find them so will try that.

Thanks all

So you were talking about heat.
We are jealous, we're headed that way before too long.

My understanding is the heat pump, you wanted heat, does not work at those temps. Have to turn furnace on?

Heat pump will work down to 40-42. I have had it work at 38 if it's very dry air. 47 degrees is perfect for a heat pump.

Mine just has a heating element. It works whatever the ouside temp is. Not as much heat as the gas but works.
